My son Jeffrey is having a grand ol' time with his new GameCube, and he loves the game Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This is the first time he has played an epic-sized adventure game, one with mental challenges nearly every step of the way. He is doing fairly well overcoming those challenges, and he's also having a lot of fun with some side-aspects of the game.
Last night, when I came home from work, Jeffrey was laughing and laughing, and said, "Hey Daddy! Look at THIS!" He proceeded to jump into a pen full of chickens, and began swinging his sword wildly at them. For about 30 seconds, the chickens ran away from him in panic, but then they all stopped. They turned toward him, and began to attack him en masse. CHICKEN ATTACK!
My son ran his Link character all over the village trying to escape an entire flock of chickens that came fluttering and chasing after him, pecking him to death, while Jeffrey laughed the whole way through. Finally, Link lay dead.
I commented, "Jeffrey... that's embarrassing. You were killed... by a chicken!" At that, Jeffrey dropped his controller, fell onto his back, and laughed even harder.
Was a great moment.

I'd donate my 'Limited Edition' Zelda the Windwaker(comes with an extra game disc with Ocarina and the 'remixed' Master quest version of Ocarina.), except... it's a PAL 60Hz version, and it'd probably cost more to ship it than for you to pick up a second-hand copy on eBay.
Anyway, your kid ROCKS!

Dude, you know I'm just playing with you. Hey, if you figure out how to do the bomb jump and use it at the wall in Lon Lon ranch, you can trick the game into giving you Epona early! Of course, if you do it as Young Link there's a chance you'll skip the growing proccess and end up in the adult world while still a kid! Just be careful that it doesn't freeze your system!
Wait a second... how'd you get such a clear screen shot if you're playing on the consol? Only an emulator could...... *grabs you by your shirt collar and pulls you forward* Tell me how you got an N64 controller on the PC, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! *EXPLODES!*

J does much the same thing in his games, so it's probably the age. :)
